 * I have this installed on a fresh copy of WP and default theme. Its the only plug
   in I have installed. When I try to use any of the shortcodes in the editor It
   just shows up on the page. I put [job_dashboard] and nothing. Just the words.
 * Thank you!!!!

 * Yup, same issue here. The shortcode does nothing.

   Your shortcodes are probably malformed – view the page in ‘html’ view and ensure
   there are no tags wrapping your [job_dashboard] shortcode. That would break it.

 * [@mikejolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) I already verified
   that. The shortcode is not malformed. It simply does not get processed.

 * @mikejolly Yes. Fresh WordPress v3.6 install, all plugins disabled except WP 
   Job Manager, and running the TwentyTwelve theme.
 * Added `[job_submit_form]` to a new Page called “Submit a Job” with a slug of `
   submit-a-job`, Published the page, and then added ‘submit-a-job’ to _Job Listings
   → Settings → Job Submission → Submit Page Slug_. Viewed the Submit a Job page,
   and all that shows up is “[job_submit_form]”.

 * [@raamdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raamdev/) you realise its ‘submit_job_form’
   not ‘job_submit_form’

 * @mikejolly In that case you should update the plugin to correct the documentation,
   which states “Enter the slug of the page where you have placed the [job_submit_form]
   shortcode.” underneath _Job Listings → Settings → Job Submission → Submit Page
   Slug_.
 * I changed the shortcode to [submit_job_form] and it works now. Thanks!
